Zhang Jinling first entered the Beijing Film Studio to film in 1976.
At that time, she succeeded in portraying Liu Sijie's image in the remake version of "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River" in Shanghai Film Studio, and she became a hit. Immediately after, she was invited to Changying and participated in the filming of two films, "Rookie in the Mountain Village" and "Hope", playing the roles of Fang Hua, an intellectual young man, and Ning Haiping, a female oil worker.
While in the "Hope" crew, she met actor Xu Min from Beijing Film Studio. The two have feelings for each other in the process of getting along.
In 1976, the Beijing Film Studio wanted to make a "blockbuster" "The River Runs". The heroine Li Mai appointed the famous actor Zhang Ruifang to play. In addition, famous actors like Chen Qiang, Wang Xingang, Zhao Lian, Ge Cunzhuang, Gao Fang also joined the role. . There is a role in the play named Liang Qing, Li Mai’s daughter-in-law, who plays a very important role. Director Xie Tieli and playwright Li Zhun appointed Zhang Jinling to play.
But when she appeared on the crew and saw Liu Yanli, the actor who played her husband, she said that she could not act in this play. why? Because Liu Yanli was too delicate and small, Zhang Jinling wanted to laugh when he saw him. And Liu Yanli wanted to laugh as soon as he saw Zhang Jinling, who was tall and magnificent. The two actors want to have fun when they see each other. How do you make this scene? So Zhang Jinling found the director and quit.
In fact, she had already met Liu Yanli in the crew of "Rookie in the Mountain Village" before this, but the relationship between the two characters in that drama is very simple. They are both ambitious rural youths, unlike in "The River Running" So you have to fall in love and get married.
, but director Xie Tieli is very optimistic about Zhang Jinling, and specifically hired playwright Li Zhun to work for the two actors. Li Zhun spoke in Henan dialect and said that in my place, it is fashionable that the daughter-in-law is older than the husband in many places. Why, the junior, hold gold bricks. There are so many benefits for a wife. It’s so good to be able to do housework when you get married.
After the playwright's explanation, Zhang Jinling figured it out and happily accepted Liang Qing's performance task. And her performance was very successful, and she cooperated very well with Zhang Ruifang, who played the mother-in-law, and Liu Yanli, who played the little husband. In 1979, when the "Popular Film" magazine resumed publication, the first issue of the cover was the stills of her and Liu Yanli in "The River Rushing", which left a deep impression on everyone.
Zhang Jinling recalled that period, still feeling very warm in her heart. She said that at that time the conditions were very difficult, but everyone's heart was very fulfilling, because everyone was devoted to art. Especially the main creators of the crew are all big directors, big screenwriters, big actors, such as Zhang Ruifang, who has acted in so many good movies and is such a brilliant movie star, but in life, he is really like a mother to young actors. Warm and caring. At that time, Zhang Ruifang was over 50 years old, but he jumped into the Yellow River without saying a word at the shooting scene. The spirit and courage were really admirable.
At that time, Zhang Jinling's monthly salary was 28 yuan, and she had to send it to her parents every month to subsidize the family, so there was not much money left in her pocket. The most unforgettable thing for her was in Kaifeng. A large group of people went outside to take a walk after filming at night. Director Xie Tieli gave her two dollars to buy some peanuts and fragrant mouth. And those two dollars of peanuts, until now, are very fond memories.
In 1978, Beijing Film Studio transferred Zhang Jinling from the Hubei Provincial Repertory Troupe. Also this year, she held a wedding with Xu Min. After the two got married, they also had a very sweet and loving time. As soon as
finished her wedding, she rushed to the Shanghai Film Studio to take part in the filming of the movie "From Slave to General", playing the male and female protagonists separately from Yang Zaibao.
Zhang Jinling was reused after entering Beiying. She was also known as the "Three Flowers of Beiying" together with two other young actresses of Beiying at that time, Li Xiuming and Liu Xiaoqing. Not long after
entered the factory, a young female director named Wang Haowei found her and gave her a book called "Look at This Family". She took it and saw it was a comedy, and she was a little afraid to take it. Because before that, she had acted in serious dramas and had never been exposed to comedies. Looking at the cast-Chen Qiang, Chen Peisi, Liu Xiaoqing, etc., are all very good actors, so Zhang Jinling was afraid that she would be a bad performer, drag everyone back, and didn't want to take it.
But Wang Haowei believes that she can play the role of her sister Jiaying. She said, you look like the boss of the family. In fact, Wang Haowei was right, Zhang Jinling was at home, Is indeed the boss. So she acted according to her own feelings, but it was very real and brilliant.
Zhang Jinling also admitted that in the movie "Look at This Family", the roles played by Chen Peisi and Liu Xiaoqing are more likely to attract the audience's attention. This is determined by the character of the character. Jiaying's character should be dignified, calm and generous. Yes, but Zhang Lan, a backward young man played by Liu Xiaoqing, is very relaxed. Therefore, Liu Xiaoqing won the third Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor for the role of Zhang Lan. Zhang Jinling said that she indeed played Zhang Lan and I am very happy for her.
In fact, after that, Zhang Jinling and Liu Xiaoqing became best friends, and the two had several opportunities to cooperate. One of them was to add Li Xiuming and "North Film and Three Flowers" to film "Xu Mao and His Daughters" together. When
first received the movie "Xu Mao and His Daughters", Zhang Jinling thought the director would arrange to play the four girls Xu Xiuyun. Because before that, what I played on the screen was basically a gentle and virtuous heroine, and the audience was also used to seeing Zhang Jinling's dignified and quiet appearance. Unexpectedly, the role he was assigned was Xu Qiuyun, the third hot son, and Xu Xiuyun, who had a weak personality, was given to Li Xiuming, who was very strong in life.
Zhang Jinling is a little puzzled, thinking that she can play the fourth girl well, but she is not very sure about the pungent third girl. So I found the director and expressed my wish to change roles with Li Xiuming, saying, if I were to play the fourth child, I promised to complete the task successfully, but I did not know how to play the third child. The director Wang Yan is very kind, saying, Jin Ling, you played a gentle and introverted character before, and you should also open up a play, and San Lazi is also a very kind-hearted woman, but her personality has become very hot due to the influence of the environment. Be strong. Director
Wang said that the character Sanlazi is going to be played well and may be the most brilliant character in the play.
In fact, Zhang Jinling's role as Xu Qiuyun, the three spicy son, not only subverted her previous screen image, but also left us a very deep impression. Especially in the scene where she quarreled with Zheng Baixiang, Zhang Jinling completely let go of the performance, and specially designed a very action-conscious hemp rope action for the characters, which fully demonstrated the "hot" energy of San Lazi.
This year, she won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor for her outstanding performance in "Xu Mao and His Daughters". After
, Zhang Jinling originally had another chance to cooperate with Liu Xiaoqing, but because of an accident, she missed it. This movie is "Burning the Old Summer Palace" directed by Li Hanxiang. She was originally scheduled to play the East Palace and Liu Xiaoqing to play the West Palace. But in the process of preparing for the role, she suddenly found out that she was pregnant. This once made her very entangled, should she want a career or children? Also hesitated. In fact, many actresses have encountered this situation before, and most of the most enterprising actresses chose not to have children for the time being. But Zhang Jinling didn't. After thinking about it, she decided to give birth to the child. The child
is Xu Yibei. The arrival of
children brought too much fun to Zhang Jinling's life. Although at this time, she has turned from a smash hit female star to a housewife, but she never regrets it.
It's just that she didn't expect a crack in the relationship between herself and her husband Xu Min. In fact, like many couples, the two have different personalities and often quarrel. In the end, they had to choose to divorce in 1988. His son Xu Yibei lived with his mother.
In the winter of 1989, Zhang Jinling and Zhang Zheng, an international brand consultant in China, formed a family. Later, she began to study calligraphy and calligraphy with Lou Shibai, and achieved good results. She also became a director of the Artists Association of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of China, and a director of the Old Artist Painting and Calligraphy Society of the Ministry of Culture.
Now, 68-year-old Zhang Jinling recalls her days in Beijing Film Studio, still with emotion. She said that during that very good time, she received the help of many teachers and made many good friends. Now looking back, she is full of gratitude.
